[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think anyone realizes this moves less than 90ish kids out of Irving/WSHS.  This won't solve anywhere near the issue of overcrowding alone.  Something else bigger has to give. [/quote]

Wait, what?  If it only move 90 kids then who cares?  I wonder if that's why they pulled in Hunt Valley?  They need way more numbers?

I think is is 100 kids based of FCPS numbers.

100 students moved out of WSHS eliminates the 2 trailers added this year.[/quote]
But it’s 300 students to get down to the stated 105% capacity goal. [/quote]

Wshs class of 2026 is at 735 students.

Irving 8th grade is at 579 students

Usually, the 8th to 9th grade grows around 50-60 students from new students and AAP kids returning from Lake Braddock.

Let's be generous and say that the 8th to 9th grade growth is unexpectedly large, with the class growing around 70 students, ending up at around 650 for 9th grade 2026.

Just from the giant class of 2026 graduating, WSHS will drop by around 85 students.

Combined with eliminating the Sangster split feeder and sending all of Sangster to Lake Braddock, the two changes equal a roughly 185 student drop at WSHS between June 2026 and September 2026.

That should be a big enough drop for WSHS.

We will find out their plans when the maps actually drop.

It could be something completely different than anyone expects.[/quote]

Why do AAP kids choose to move from Lake Braddock?[/quote]

AAP ends in 8th grade.

The kids have to return to their zoned high school, unless they csn find a loophole.[/quote]
